Now, you won’t be forced to shut the console off to get your child to stop playing.

If parents turn time limits on, their children will see an in-game notification when they have 30 minutes left on the clock. Their time is tracked when they play Epic Games-made Fortnite modes like Battle Royale and Lego Fortnite as well as when they play creator-made experiences built with the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).

Parents will also be able to see how much time their child is playing the game with a Time Reports dashboard.
These new controls add to what Epic already offers for parents, including the ability to restrict their children from accessing certain experiences based on their rating.
